December greetings from your Millarville Community Library. We have a new program beginning this month. On Friday mornings in December you will hear the busy sound of children and parents at our newly scheduled Parents and Tots Story time. It will meet December 1, 8 and 22 beginning at 10:00 a.m. A great time to connect with other parents and watch your little ones enjoy their first time in a library.
We will have regular hours Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 9 – 3, and Wednesdays 9 – 7:30 until December 22 when our staff and volunteers will take a well deserved break. Through the holiday we will be open Jan. 2 from 9-12 and Jan. 3 from 10-7 so you can refresh your selections and pick up your holds. Regular hours will resume Jan 8th.
Big announcement: Splisherbocker Books in Diamond Valley is doing a fundraising drive for the Library during the month of December! Add $5-10 or more to your purchase and we will then buy books through Splisherbocker to add to our library. We are so very grateful to them for helping us to buy a larger selection of new books for all ages! Tax receipts are available as well for your donation.
Do check out our facebook and newly renewed instagram pages, or call us for dates and information on our winter/ spring workshop line-up: Slow Stitching, Gardening in our Foothills Climate, Photography, Massage, Preserving Food, Cyber Security, and Cake Decorating. There are classes for everyone, so don’t miss out.
We want to acknowledge with thanks the donation of class fees from Sheila Woolner’s amazing Christmas Cracker Workshop held earlier in November to avoid the Christmas rush.
There has been a lot of hype anticipating the release of Abraham Verghese’s 14 years of writing “The Covenant of Water.” A long read that only comes together in the weaving together of 3 generations in the final chapters. A deep, layered, multi generational story that touches on arranged marriage, caste differences, inherited diseases, love, faith and medicine set in Kerala, India. A humbling testament to the difficulties undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. A masterful literary novel, certain to keep you reading through the long winter nights.
